This was likely your A1C, or a metric of the last three months or so of your sugar levels.

Just because you feel healthy doesn’t necessarily mean you are healthy. You may have, for example, a pancreas condition. Or it may be nothing at all, and just something to track, which is why you never base any medical decisions off a single test.

Your last sentence is nonsense. People can provide exceptional (and correct) advice without necessarily following it themselves, and for all you know this nurse has spent the last year actively trying to improve their health.

To take this seriously, probably by account age, there just aren't that many 2007 accounts so eventually astroturfers will have to resort to newer and newer accounts.
While I agree with the overall premise that mega-corporations are controlling the public's use of the internet, I disagree with the underlying statement:

>>He was able to do this because the internet, which had been publicly available since January 1983, enabled it.

I was using the internet in 1983. To suggest it was "publicly available" is glossing over the reality. It was available if I wanted to pay ~$60 an hour to Compuserve (so expensive we used automation software (NASCIS?) to log on, grab forum messages, and log off to be processed offline).

The reality is the internet wasn't generally available to the general public. Berners-Lee had access through ARAPNET, a US military organization that created "wide area networks" with Colleges/Universities in the 1960s. In 1983 the public did not have direct access to ARAPNET. The only access was through a corporate gatekeeper which held the keys to the kingdom and controlled the terms of access.

IMO, any attempt at reform of the internet, still faces that underlying problem: access to an internet onramp. I don't see how access avoids government or corporate gatekeepers. And so long as that remains true, they will control the terms of any "rewilding".

The only way I can imagine this plausibly impacting vehicle range would be if the only solution to protecting the radio from interference from the motor involved a bunch of heavy shielding, but I'm hoping no one's actively considering that.
this has lots of "real" in it but details matter. At a formative time, American politics specifically substituted "safe" leadership in union upper management.. either connected to party politics or just directly from old-Right Europe who had lots of experience dealing with workers and systems. Yes, there were real Mafia families in the Teamsters, in other words. The fiery and violent revolutions across the world did have their impacts on America.

Since the 1980s, evolution via bureaucracy and golf clubs, court cases and election results seem to have been more the driving force.. people can only get so fat before their eyes start to glaze over and trivial concerns take the airtime.
From the story:

He was sentenced to 78mo for a scam that generated $100M in revenue

His sentence includes an order to pay $100M in restitution to Cisco

When a US corp harms individuals (directly), it pays a fine (some small fraction of the gains) - to the government. Instead of jail time, corp execs keep whatever bonuses they receive.

When an individual harms a US corp (indirectly), he's obligated to pay 100% of the revenue - to the corp. He goes to jail.
Covid-19 will never become endemic. (2022)
I, through a combination of fortune and misfortune, was able to retire at 40.

I am trying to figure out how to employ my hands in ways I enjoy and that may be of net benefit to society at this time, and this essay touches on a lot of the concepts I've been thinking over. I'm actually surprised I haven't run across it; I should probably start my search by reading a little deeper into some philosophy.
we're talking here about the ability to control what NIC localhost traffic egresses a device with multiple NICs—even when some of said NICs may be be virtualized, like a TUN interface for example. anything and everything else is upstream.
Civil asset forfeiture is fucking criminal. You don't even need to be arrested or convicted of a crime.
And that never happens with Python? No one has ever published garbage articles about it?
People seldom read beyond the title before commenting
Virtual credit cards and masked email addresses have been amazing.
A calculator is fine so long as you understand what the operations actually represent. Remembering the multiplication table is not important, but understanding what multiplication actually does is.

The problem with AI-assisted coding is that, applied uncritically, it circumvents this understanding. And without it, you won't even be able to judge whether the code that CoPilot etc spit out is correct for the task.
As companies not going anywhere. Their valuations specially Nvidia could realistically track back a lot. Drop to half seems reasonable, third realistic and almost eight not impossible.

Remember Cisco. Still not above the peak.
That procurement officer could be less than a year removed from high school and in charge of ordering anything from ballpoint pens to medical devices and weapons. They aren't experts in what they are purchasing all the time. I doubt there are specific details on how these got ordered, but there are scenarios that could lead to little questioning.
What numbers? The amount of operating systems and drivers implemented in Python?
If you are a big enough target, people will try to compromise your infrastructure or your users through these uploads.

Some problems you can run in to:
Exploiting image or video processing tools with crafted inputs, leading to server compromise when encoding/resizing.
Having you host illegal or objectionable material.
Causing extreme resource consumption, especially around video processing and storage.
Having you host material that in some way compromises your clients (exploits bugs in jpeg libraries, cross site scripting, etc.)

I can't really talk about what is done at the FAANG that I worked at on this stuff, but if you are a large enough target, this is a huge threat vector.
Probably every, or at least almost every, age is the wood age by bulk. But in terms of high-tech manufacturing, every age could probably be called the ceramic age. Pottery, glass, spaceship tiles, computer chips.

Metals get outsized attention I think because we use them to kill each other, so switching to a new metal is quite dramatic.
so instead of making the silent electric cars make some sort of noise for pedestrians to hear, they should all just carry a device susceptible to the EMI an EV generates to allow for proximity awareness of a silent EV approaching. /s

I know nothing about the technicalities of why this specific EMI is hard to eliminate, so I'm asking an honest question. Why? What makes it difficult to block this EMI? Where is it being generated (I'm assuming the motor windings??)? Is there not some sort of cage that can be built around the motors by lining the wheel wells to block the EMI?
I have been listening to Kai Ryssdal's Marketplace on NPR/KQED the last few days on my commute home from work.

The topic for the last several days was on the CHIPS And Science Act and the new Semiconductor Fabs being built by TSMC and Intel in Phoenx, AZ.

It will be several years before the plants already being constructed will go into production but there is a whole ecosystem of current construction, education of the future workforce that will need to be hired in the future. Not to mention all the ancilliary companies that are needed to support these gigantic plants in the area.

The dollars from CHIPS Act are not only bringing in the manufacturing plants but will be essential to bring this lost capability back to the US in the scale needed both from an economic and national security perspective.

It was great listening to the show and the impact the CHIPS Act on people's lives already happening now and in the future.

For anyone interested the links to the specific shows are available as podcasts here.

I read In Praise of Idleness when I was 13-14 because an older person recommended it to me. Although the essay was written in the 1935, he convinced me this was the future, and that it foretold what European life was going to be. And indeed, modern Western Europe lives this way -- where leisure is accorded importance, hard work is not the highest virtue, and citizens were free to create culture and invent new ideas. As evidence, he pointed to all the discoveries made by medieval monks and people with idle time to play with ideas, as opposed to the proletariat who worked but did not have the luxury to think higher thoughts. Idleness was thus the pre-condition for great ideas.

In a sense, this is the vision of UBI -- where basic needs were met, and people were free to self-actualize.

This is also the happy version of tenure in academia -- where you didn't have to worry about "publish or perish" but instead you get to work on really important ideas without showing results for years (multi year grants or being in a place like the IAS helps).

Google in some ways used to operate like this before the current pivot -- many googlers lived a life of "resting and vesting" while wandering about for years looking for a big idea with little pressure to deliver anything.

I definitely found this vision attractive, but as I grew older, I realized that it was not entirely tenable in it purest form. Yes, the best ideas certain came from having time to wander and work on different things (you get more creative working on multiple decorrelated ideas at the same time rather than one big idea), but in my experience, complete idleness without pressure to deliver anything does not work. I don't know if I believe the premise of In Praise of Idleness any more. We no longer live in a simple world. In a complex world, great ideas come from incrementalism, and keeping busy and making progress seems to be necessary in many domains in order get to the big idea because all the low hanging fruit have been plucked.
Or use the getrandom() syscall.
As I stated above, the Daley machine rigged the 1960 election. 3 people did prison time for it. That absolutely happened.

It doesn't actually matter whether or not election fraud is "an urban legend." Faith in the system has been lost. That was Nixon's fear and the reason he didn't contest the election results.

Which world events?
> the founding fathers who held other humans in bondage for all sorts of free labor

Actually, slavery was a bitter dividing line among the founders of the USA. It is intellectually lazy to ascribe slavery to all of the founders of the USA. It also insults those who were vocally and politically against slavery, from the very earliest days. You can find many examples with any effort at all.
If the car companies are fighting this in this manner, they must be receiving enough complaints from users with the poor reception issues so that this is the maker's solution.
Operates only when car is booted in special mode where all other electronics are shutdown.. Seems reasonable and smart solution.

The tax should be on wealth, not income.

Why? Far-above average wealth amassed by 1 person represents wealth not in the hands of a wider public. This is damaging to society in many ways.

Example: compare homeless person who has ~0, buys a lottery ticket and wins $1M, with someone who already owns property worth $10M, and doesn't work in a year (and/or has accountant do creative bookkeeping to put income at ~0).

It makes no sense to (heavily) tax that newly minted millionaire since "high-income", while their ~0 income neighbour sits on a $10M home/yacht/pile of stock options/whatever. This holds even more true as you look further up the amassed-wealth ladder.

Redistribute those goodies! Well at least some of it, each year.
> Yesterday, Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass) revealed that the "AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act" now has the support of 60 US Senators, as well as 246 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, making its passage an almost sure thing. Should that happen, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would be required to ensure that all new cars sold in the US had AM radios at no extra cost.

Wow, which lobbyists convinced a critical mass of legislators to support a mature, resilient, democratic information delivery platform with content funded by non-invasive advertising, for the benefit of a non-subscribing public?
Im sorry but this statement is pretty funny to anyone who has seen google’s internal infra. Where are those companies who run like 10-20k machine kubernetes clusters?

Show HN: I Built DeployRapid a SvelteKit Development Kit
Hey Everyone

I've spent countless hours trying to go from an idea to a tangible software platform.

This journey led to creating DeployRapid, a startup kit designed for rapid development. DeployRapid is a comprehensive kit that leverages the power of Svelte, Firebase, and Stripe.

It streamlines:
- User authentication
- Stripe webhooks
- Database Integration
- Pre-built components

And the best part no React... I am still upgrading it with even more valuable features and tools.
Oh god job application forms are a travesty. Every single company seems to do it differently, about half of them seem to like making the form ten times longer than necessary and good luck figuring out whether your submission will actually get checked by anyone or thrown straight into the trash by an automated system.

And I definitely emphasise with the 'easy apply' auto fill crap. Those are incredibly unreliable at the best of times, and a waste of time all around.

But the worst ones to me have to be the incredibly lengthy 'ask everything' forms that way too many large companies and government agencies like too much. The ones which feel less like a job application, and more like filing your taxes. Way too often you'll go for something on LinkedIn, see a form, then notice it says something like 'part 1 of 20' at the top of the page because someone at Microsoft thought letting companies add a ton of unique questions was a 'great' feature.
If a Cisco reseller offers a lower price than Cisco for Cisco equipment that's pretty dumb. I realize it can happen because prices are negotiated but such situations introduce risk into the supply chain as seen here.
I'm one of the few I know off that anytime (almost) I discover a crappy service/UI/* I take time to document and protest. Unfortunately most people protest only with their friends instead of barking at those who made the crap...

If we all take time to write USEFUL feedback than even org run by ....... have to take the cry into account.
I’m guessing this is a techie reference.

Computer servers can be divided into two roles in modern technical architectures… they are either “cattle” or “pets”. Pets are computer servers that have names and are always up. Cattle are servers that are transient, spun up and down as needed and do not necessarily have any long running identity/name as a component of a larger system.

http://cloudscaling.com/blog/cloud-computing/the-history-of-...

The poster is making a critiques of how by treating historical persons contributors as cattle, we are considering them a dispensable, unnamed, a commodity that is easily replaced and interchangeable and missing their very real contribution, value, and humanity.
The car was registered to him and registered to be in the parking lot. So, nice stretch there about a situation you know nothing about.
Yup, this is Google's AOL moment. The execs can't do anything at this point besides throw tantrums and demand more shit be put on the dumpster fire. More ads. More seo spam.
Show HN: I built an AI app that helps you answer interview questions in realtime
Hi HN,
I've been working on a real-time AI app to assist the user in meetings. It originally only had real-time question prompts, fact checking and note taking but some users gave me feedback saying it would be super useful to answer questions on the fly too, so I built it! I've also added a token based system as it uses ChatGPT-4 Turbo. I'd love your feedback on how it feels and if it's clear enough. You can log in without creating an account using Google oAuth and you'll get 100 tokens to play with.
Hope it's useful!
Cheers,
Tom
Cisco doesn’t really sell this stuff directly, you have to buy through resellers.
Cloudfront does not solve it. Comcast deprioritizes any content that comes from Amazon.
In light of this news, how should we reevaluate some of the recent admonishments to "trust the experts" and "don't do your own research"?
Many stone tools were not weapons, but already the Neanderthals used spear points made of stone, which were glued on wooden hafts.

Later, the modern humans used frequently arrow points made of stone.
I know consumer IoT using SaaS is a rug pull fraud, but yes, I except any such device to keep its functionality for 40 years at no extra cost.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you simply referring to “applied mathematics” and “pure mathematics”, respectively? I skimmed through the replies to your comment and I don’t believe anyone mentioned these terms, although I did see one reference to “abstract mathematics” (a term used by you, as well).

I thought these were well-known terms and thus that the dichotomy you describe was itself well-known, but I thought I’d add this comment on the chance that you weren’t familiar with them.
Cybernetics, if I recall rightly, was a “multidisciplinary (80 series when I was there) class, no?

His classes were my favorite because he was one of the few profs that really didn’t sugar coat things and appreciated those that put effort in.
> Obviously this can't be applied to essential services like healthcare etc.

And that's the reason why you have to engage. Allow things to go that way one time, you'll get them all the time. Protest, politely but effectively, all the time and things will change.

We all suffer crappy services, if almost nobody protest they'll not change, because much of them are used by people with no choice, starting from fiscal stuff.
It’s by design.
You have to make choices in life.
If you think that Zoroastrianism there is heavily punished there by authorities, you are severely mistaken. Officially their number is roughly the same as in India, but in reality its much much more and they face no repressions that I could anyhow see or gather from talking to locals. But its not hard to understand why official numbers would not represent reality, unlike say in India which is cca democracy and this group is quite powerful there.

Or do you have more of personal experiences from Iran that contradict mine?

I've also been to beautifully restored old christian church in the heart of the big city (forgot which one, maybe Isfahan), no issues I just went in, there were masses happening there regularly. No hassle anywhere.
So, they seemed to be playing? That was my point. Just like puppies play fight.
I'm somewhat new to helm, after a year I feel like I'm pretty good at it, but struggle to teach other ML folks what I've learned the hard way over the last year. Some of that is helm, plenty of it is Kubernetes. Most of our charts are ingress, service, deployment, service account, scaled object (keda), but there's plenty of small variation even across ML applications, plus the different needs of other teams.

Any good resources you can point me to on how Kustomize might be easier for us?
> At some point it would be nice if we could get back to vendor-agnostic wireless protocols

Cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth are vendor-agnostic. The issue is there's finite radio bandwidth and because the radios are vendor-agnostic they all need to built to a specification. Interop between cellular basebands made by a variety of players and base stations made by yet more players is already a minor technological miracle.

Old AMPS phones want to use the bands carriers moved to 4G/5G service. There's no affordance for backwards compatibility because the old technology was just shittier. The bandwidth of a single AMPS phone can now carry many dozens of 5G connections and provide them with full service.
Interesting that shipping is 1.7% of which supposedly 40% is fossil fuel transportation.

So that's about 0.7% for shipping petrochemicals and another 0.3% from pipelines. So 1% of global emissions is just the overhead of moving fossil fuels around to where they are processed/burned.
It is very likely both your Honda and your receiver tune in AM.
There are many countries in Europe where most buildings are made of wood.
When you become an older worker, and experience firsthand the vulnerability of seniority, you realize why your union was always so protective of older workers. I would think many tech workers over ~35 can relate.
Or have it so it's trivial to sign up online, but cancelling requires contacting them via phone/post/whatever. 'Funny' how well these systems seem to work when people are giving you money, but how much of an unusable mess they turn into when it's the other way around.
